     This is an antique, 1886, book by John Ross Macduff (1818 -- 1895).  He was a Scottish divine and a prolific author of religious essays. He published many practical and devotional works which attained a wide circulation.  This is a children's book about Bethlehem.  (from Wikipedia)

     From my research online, I found this book's illustrator to be William Luson Thomas ( 1830 -- 1900), a British wood-engraver and the founder of various British newspapers.  In my research, I found his signature to be the same in this book as it was in his on-line engravings.  He has 10 engraved plates in the book.
